I watched Buzz Out Loud daily for years until they dropped basically all their podcasts. It was such a baffling move to me at the time. YouTube was growing so damn fast back then, and it would have been such an easy choice for them to start a family of channels that drove clicks back to their main site. Yet they not only failed to capitalize off a new platform, they basically shut down their podcasts right as viewership was exploding on the platform.

Then once they actually started taking their channel seriously, they produced some of the most bland, corporate content ever.

People are so damn impatient. The JWST was also delayed quite a bit, and now it's giving us mountains of new science and insights.
